| Initial GMA Europa impressions and a few questions Altho' I'm not an Europa owner, I'm a GMA owner. From what I can tell from my own experience is that the most significant improvement will occur until the 100 hrs mark. From the 100 to 300 hrs mark the improvement will be less dramatic i.e. you'll... | |

| Phase inverted..why? Geoffgarcia,The Rogue66 inverts phase. So, this is 1 phase inversion.Does the Rogue 88 invert phase?If yes, this is the 2nd phase inversion. Hence, no need to cross speaker connections as 2 phase inversions of 180 degree brings you to 360 degrees,... | |

| PLC advice on API vs Richard Gray vs VansEvers? Hmmmmm.....looks like you are band-aiding your problem rather than fixing it at the source! Before you buy any power conditioner, check out your power source & cabling to your audio outlets. Going to Home-Depot & getting THHN wire for dedi... | |
| DIY Dust Cover for Teres or Other Audio Equipments Ykk,Thanks for sharing.I've been thinking of making this sort of dust cover for nearly 9 months but my sloth has been getting in the way!
